Pokémon world locations
|
Dragonspiral Tower (Japanese: リュウラセンの塔 Dragonspiral Tower) is an old tower where ZekromBB2/ReshiramWW2 was sealed in the Dark StoneBB2/Light StoneWW2 after the war thousands of years ago, until it was awoken by N. It is located in the western part of Unova, just above Icirrus City. Though it is not known who built it or when it was built, it is the oldest structure in Unova. It is said this is where Legendary Pokémon are created and slumber.
In Pokémon Black and White, the first accessible portion of the Dragonspiral Tower is the entrance north of Icirrus City, due to the tower itself being surrounded by a moat that cannot be traversed using Surf. After the player obtains the Freeze Badge, Team Plasma will break through the wall of the tower with a ramp, giving the player access to the inside of the tower, as well as the previously-inaccessible grassland on the other side of the moat. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, the ramp is still in place, giving the player immediate access to the tower after reaching Icirrus City.

Pokémon the Series
In Pokémon the Series, the Dragonspiral Tower is located near the White Ruins, as first stated in New Places... Familiar Faces! by Cedric Juniper. Even though the tower's interior was never visited in the series, it served as a recognizable landmark for Ash and his friends during their journey to the White Ruins.
The tower made its first proper appearance in Secrets From Out of the Fog!, where Ash, Cilan, and Iris were transported near it by N, Anthea, and Concordia. Recognizing it as the Dragonspiral Tower, Ash and his friends realized they were nearing their destination. In Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!, Ash and company went to see the tower more closely. Cilan proceeded to explain about how it is said to be the oldest tower in Unova, and how no one seems to know who or why it had been built.

Trivia
- The cycling and surfing themes aren't used outside the tower. It is not possible to use the Bicycle inside the tower.
- Dragonspiral Tower's background music, リュウラセンの塔 Dragonspiral Tower, bears strong resemblances to fellow Nintendo platform compositions 樹海の神秘 Jukai no Shimpi (transl. "Mystery of the Forest", from Chrono Trigger) and 神殿ダンジョン Shinden Danjon (transl. "Sanctuary Dungeon", from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past).
- As the player ascends Dragonspiral Tower in Pokémon White, Reshiram's rampage is signaled by an unidentified character shouting "Burn, baby, burn!" while Reshiram's cry plays. This is a reference to the chorus of the 1976 song "Disco Inferno". The corresponding text in Pokémon Black, shouted while Zekrom's cry plays, is "It's shocking!!"
- No speech is present in the Japanese versions, where the shouted text is merely onomatopoeia accompanying the cries of Reshiram and Zekrom—"モエルーワ!" and "バリバリダー!! respectively.
